Windows Server device consuming 80 CIS Data Center license

Hello community,

Me again! Noticed something which I think is super odd but maybe you`ve encountered the same and have justified it - maybe.

Situation: I have a windows server that is consuming 80 (yes 80) CIS Datacenter license when the Server itself is a `CPU Core Count = 1` and `CPU Count = 10' 

 

Any idea why this is occurring? Is there a setting that I need to configure? See screenshots below for more details. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated - if you're local, beers on me!

Hi @Noelinho1,

please check the breakdown details, by open one of the "Licenses required" values. This will give you a few more details about the calculation based on cpu/core and running VMs.

Please check your software model metric attributes

 

  • CPU Count = 10 means 10 processors
  • CPU Core Count = 1 means 10 cores (1 core for each processor/cpu)

 

  • Minimum cores per server = 16 OR
  • Minimum cores per processor = 8 --> 8*10 = 80 cores
